I used to use stuff like this at my old job. It also contained NO LEAD,
which I found kind of unbelievable. I works ok, but the soldering iron tip
turns all kinds of funny colors when it is on but not in use, so you have
to clean the tip more often. The cool thing is that you can wash the flux
off with water and a brush, which makes the board look professional.
I don't remember the brand name of the stuff I used.
